I said his view is wrong, not stupid. People can be wrong. That doesn't make someone a racist for saying they are wrong. You definitely think people's viewpoints you disagree with are stupid.
Here is my drunk take. Both sides are wrong. CRT is bat **** crazy. Then you have the Ted Cruzes of the world comparing it to the KKK to get racist brownie points. Then you have liberals who will defend crazy **** because they want to oppose the Cruzes of the world. We need to be better than this. Let’s call out crazy on both sides of the aisle. CRT isn’t Qanon level crazy, but it’s getting close.
Killed, raped, pillaged, murdered and impregnated....anything else? I don't really gaf what my ancestors did outside of how it relates to the context of history. If anyone doesn't know how african american and indigenous people were really treated then they weren't paying attention in school.
Honestly I didn't learn about things like redlining and Jim Crow until I was curious myself and read it myself.
Just curious. If you are confident in calling CRT close to a conspiracy about global Democrat pedo rings and Jewish space lasers, I would hope you really know what it is.
That’s the problem. No one can define it, but it sounds good on the surface. However I’ve found liberal arts academia to be full of it years before I was aware of CRT, and maybe I’m just buying into propaganda. Although I could be right and this is just an extension of modern philosophy and is incompressible bullshit at best and destructive at worst.
Lol, i love when drunk takes are on....things taught in Columbia Law seminars for 2nd and 3d year students. What is your practical experience with Critical Race Theory - I'll hang up and listen, Stockton.
So the problem is you don't have the intellectual curiosity to under what it is and therefore you believe it's close to conspiracies about a democrat pedo ring?
Watching obese Karens go to their 7th grade child's PTA meeting scared shitless that their child is being taught "critical race theory" and that "white people are evil" is hilarious and shows how successful right wing propaganda is.
Okay so give me a general idea. No You said earlier "no on can define it". Did you look it up after you made that claim and just learned it?
You are the one who made the claim that it's almost a bad as Qanon. That's a strong statement where I hope you can answer what it is and I asked first.
"YOU ARE NOT A RACIST TO CRITICIZE CRITICAL RACE THEORY: https://johnmcwhorter.substack.com/p/you-are-not-a-racist-to-criticize excerpt: In a dialogue premised on good faith, we can assume that when politicos and parents decry “Critical Race Theory,” what they refer to is the idea of oppression and white perfidy treated as the main meal of an entire school’s curriculum. In other words, the issue here is not whether schoolkids should learn about racism. A certain kind of person loves to stand and breezily say that there are swarms of people out there who don't want kids to know about racism – and they say this with admirable oppositional poise but not a shred of evidence. Rather, what most of us (as opposed to the Establishment in schools of education) think, and are correct about, is this: 1. Young children should not be taught if white to be guilty and if black to feel a) oppressed and b) wary of white kids around them (and if South Asian to be very, very confused …). 2. Young children should not be taught that the American story is mainly (note I write mainly rather than only, but mainly is just as awful here) one of oppression and racism. Not because it’s unpleasant and because sinister characters want to “hide” it, but because it’s dumb. It is willfully blind to the complexity inherent to history, not to mention reality itself. Just as resonant a case could be made that America is founded on sexism, or classism – and the cases would be equally simplistic propaganda. more at the link
My local school district just started throwing a bunch of money at consultants to start incorporating "anti racism" teaching concepts into the curriculum as early as 5th grade and I think it's a terrible idea. The metrics show anti-bias/racism training is, at best, ineffective and a waste of time/resources or, at worst, doing the exact opposite of its intention (creating more bias/racist people). This is especially not cool when you're involving kids, as opposed to just dead-eyed office drones having to put up with an HR department's latest pet project.
